Dear Sir, I am writing from Malawi, central Africa. Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world. I work for a health communication NGO that uses the power of mass media to effect change. Realizing that interpersonal communication, social mobilization and community dialogue are an important element in fostering behaviour change, I am in the process of developing a community dialogue promote that seeks to engage rural Malawians into discussing problems affecting their communities, what the barriers are to change and what they can do to bring about change. I came across your website and was very interested to learn more about CTB. I would like to find out if you have any reading materials that can help me come up with an effective program that can change the lives of many poor Malawians and that can later be replicated into other African countries. I will appreciate so much any assistance you can provide me in this regard. The concept I am developing will later be used to raise funding that must see the project growing. I can't wait to hear from you. Thanks, Simon |

Good afternoon, I am writing from The Lancaster (PA) Chamber of Commerce & Industry. We are in the very early stages of planning for a county-wide Community Asset Mapping project. While our geographic scope is large (a large county with half a million people), our focus will be limited to formal non-profit and not-for-profit institutions that are community assets. Chapter 3 of your online Tool Box has been very helpful. I am looking for some real-world examples or case studies of a community that has actually done a similar sort of community asset mapping. Are you aware of any such examples? I am happy to speak directly with people who have been involved in such a project, or to read documentation--whichever you might be able to provide. Thank you for your help. If this information is easier to communicate through a conversation, I'm happy to call you if you have the time. |

To whom it may concern, I am an intern with Sustainable Tompkins of Ithaca, New York. My organization got a grant to create a program to support community activism with mini grants. We are just at the beginning of this process and your website was really helpful for formatting and general guidance. I was wondering if you knew about some successful mini grant programs so that we could see how they got off the ground, what common problems were, how long their program has been running, what types of changes they have seen in their community as a result, etc. Would you be able to help me find answers to these questions? Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you soon! ~Kendra Chatburn |

The organization I work for belives health is more than medicine. It is not just physical health of an individual. An individuals health is multidimensional and a direct relationship to the environment one lives. For that reason, I am looking for articles, links, books, or any other resources that share my opion on community health. I am looking for reliable resources to help me make my case that health of a community or an individual extends beyond the work that goes on inside the walls of a hospital. Can you help? |

Hello, Thank you for working on such an amazing and valuable website. I am a social worker in a small City. One school has bullying programs that are quite good. It is a grade 6,7,8, school. When I met with teachers to ask what they would like to work on, they stated the school is divided. The kids from the 'social housing projects'go home in fear of being beat up. When they are, their parents say 'don't tell' and parents do not come to school meetings to learn about bullying prevention and intervention. How can I advise the school to begin to reach out to the community and take steps to involve the families/parents in that neighbourhood? What would your advise be? So far, parents do not come out, and the school does not go in to the community..... Many thanks! Kathie |

We would like to have a city ordinance prohibiting the spraying of lawns (other than water). Do you know of any cities that have an ordinance against lawn spraying? Do you have suggestions about how to present it to the city council in such a way to make the best impact? Many thanks, Eliza |

The Richard M. Brodsky Foundation is sponsoring a 5K / AIDS / Cancer / Survive / Run / Walk in Long Island, New York. This is also a very health oriented event as women can get free mammogaphies if they do not have health insurance and there will be free AIDS testing for all people. Can you please tell me what women's age group(s) on Long Island would it be accurate to state that breast cancer is the leading cause of death and if you could cite the reference, it would be greatly appreciated. I tried doing research by using google and I could get the answer. Thank you very much. |

I am a new Cultural Competency Coodinator for a system of care near Pittsburgh PA. I need to form a cultural committee. I want grass root organizations and faith based organizations there at the table to help build a bridge in our community with trobled teens. I would like these organizations go come from all over the county. My problem is, a lot of the faith based and grass roots reinvent the wheel with their own organization and it seems like no one wants to come together for a common cause. If we could come together, every one can have their own piece, we could get funding more easliy and communication would get out to youth and families about us. We can be in different places of the county, but have a link, a network, a common goal that we share. My question is how does this work, and what steps do I need to take to do this? Thanks |

We are looking for assessment tools for use with community based organizations related to a variety of health issues. We want to train college students and/or local people to do the assessments and provide the data/analysis to the CBO. Does the toolbox have assessment tools or links to sites providing tools. We want to pilot a tool to get things started. |

Our coalition is newly formed. I have been project Adminstrator for two weeks. It is important that in order to retain their interest, the coaltion needs to have a tangible project right off the bat! Do you have any suggestions of where I could look for materials for a project that could peak their interests while we are working on missions and visions. Some members of the coalition want a tangible project right off. Please advise |

Hi: I am trying to put together a local study of Diabetes in the Hispanic population of Central New York, and I cannot find any reference to statistics and facts, of "Latinos" with Diabetes in "Onondaga County". Although I am specifically searching for "incidents of diabetes in Onondaga county broken down by ethnicity", I could use any other type of information that links Diabetes with the Hispanic culture. Please, let me know if your department has this information, or if you can advice me where to inquire, or obtain it. Muchas Gracias; Hugo |
